Sundials on Waynflete's Tower

Sundials on Waynflete's Tower
William Waynflete (1447 – 1486) built this tower about 1470.
The two sundials refer to the passing hours with Latin mottos:
• “Practereunt” (“They pass by”)
• “Imputantur” (“They are reckoned unto us”)

Fascinating how they could design wall mounted sundials back then with no computers, etc.

'Mass Sundials' from long ago are also quite common on churches, some very makeshift, but work just the same; thanks for the visit, fave and comment.
